I know that I emailed our local news station and told them I tuned into them to get all the local news and not have to be assaulted by a political campaign speech every day. Two days ago I turned on the local news at 6 PM and the main broadcaster said that there was important local news and weather to report and that they would not be covering the blowhard's speech and they said if anyone was interested, they could get it online.

I was so pleased. They did the same yesterday. Maybe more people are contacting them telling them to stop the nonsense. This morning, Good Morning America had only Dr. Fauci on.
